You don't know whom this claim came from - but know it's official, I posted the link, and they don't need to reconfirm it every other day for doubting Thomases. Also I don't think Joe was ever stated to take place in the same story continuity as DMC (in Kamiya's headcanon they maybe are). And I can't find the status of Dreamwave comics on any off.sites - it could be alternative/non-canon.

L/G/P is not a contradiction, since the game doesn't tell where the Order got them from, and something not shown =/= couldn't have happened. Retrieving DA's before boss fights is a miniscule story/gameplay necessity difference. And DF is a later entry to 4.

Nero's visions - same as above - could've happened, just not shown.

RQ/BR - most probably retcon in 5, but Nero also could've made new ones.
